The real question for all saffas is surely where will your bike be taking you tomorrow for 3hrs??

 

Day 1 going to entail a 50/50 split between urban MTB and dog walking for me.

Day 1 going to entail a 50/50 split between urban MTB and dog walking for me.

A pre-planned 2 hour Zwift meetup for club members tomorrow, and then a 5-10Km jog on the weekend, as well as a walk with my girls - they haven’t left the house perimeter since lockdown started. We’ll keep our distance like responsible citizens.

 

I’m not going to rush out and ride my bike outside in my ‘hood - I’m not that desperate to get out. Maybe it’s because I get up to go to work every day, and I have a relatively normal routine:

 

Wake up at the same time

Shower, shave, sh.., eat, coffee

Then drove to work

Work my behind off

Drive home, and occasional stop at shops

Late afternoon MS-Teams meeting

Indoor workout

Dinner

Chill a time

Bed time

Rinse and repeat... even weekends are similar.

Fallout?

 

Weeks ago I promised Stella I would take her for a walk as soon as it was allowed - so, I had to keep my promise and did not start my return to cycling today - that will have to wait for tomorrow! Several cyclists were doing repeats  up & down the hill. Found the UCT jumps totally empty, students all gone home, jumpers are not early risers, nobody wants to break collar bones right now?

Here’s an odd fallout we’re seeing here - with so many people now walk-in their dogs and so few picking up after them we now have a situation where there is ample dog turd on all main walking routes. Some just left where it is, some picked up in bags and tossed into the bushes.

It’s really quite sad to see in some places and people’s attitudes towards cleaning up after their dogs is quite disappointing.

Club ride on Zwift today. This was pre-planned before the lockdown exercising was announced, and was good to see 7 committed to the ride despite the opportunity to ride outside. To be fair, 3 were new to Zwift and had problems joining the ride, so it would have been 10.

 

I might go ride tomorrow... or run.

Does that include the greenbelt?

However i suppose that would be like peak hour with dogs and humans and plenty of doggy landmines that some owners seem to be allergic to picking up.

 

Its a major problem. A couple of weeks before lockdown, we did the shipwreck hiking route, my word, the amount of dog poo we encountered on various paths is ludicrous. One path was so covered, there was barely any space to walk.
